C Simple Network Management Protocol setup
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for managing the router through third-party
applications that support SNMP. The router firmware supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 and a
QLogic Management Information Base (MIB) (see
“Management Information Base ” (page 200)
).
You may format traps using SNMP version 1 or 2.
SNMP parameters
